If you are not familiar with the various
types of records available, free samples can be viewed under the
"Sample Records" link, include the following, and
are priced generally from $1.00 to $16.00; with sire and
maternal grandsire records based on five cents per foal with a $5.00
minimum charge.

Members receive a $10 credit each month toward records
research. You may add additional funding online if your needs
exceed that amount.

The report called the
Semi-Edited Show Performance Pedigreeis
an excellent value and works quite well as a catalog pedigree report
or promotion for a stallion at stud or horse for sale in our full page
online classified or catalog pages.

Since all of the above pages offer unlimited space, you can
include the entire Performance Pedigree report in a wonderful 3-tiered
catalog style format.

:: PRINTING THE REPORT WHILE STILL ONLINE
(Always do this,
as they will only be available there
temporarily!)

After you have ordered a report online, always
click the link to view your report.
It will display in a nice print format, which is actually a web
page (formatted in HTML code behind the scenes.)

To print it, simply click the "print" icon or link near the top
of your browser's window. Once you do that, your will at
least have a hard copy in the "worst case scenario." However,
there are easy ways to save it to your hard drive or email the file to
other interested parties while you still have it up on your screen.
AQHA only makes these reports available to you online for 72 hours,
so it is a good idea to print what you know you need now, then
save the report to your hard drive before you disconnect.
See
instructions next:

Near the top of the page on your browser menu,
find the text link "FILE"
Click the word "FILE" and a drop-down menu will appear.
One of the choices is "Send to ..." Click on
that.
Choose "Email" and an email window will open with the report attached.
First, be sure to put your own email address in the "Send to"
line,
so you will receive a properly formatted copy of the report
to keep
and save to your computer for future use.

The pre-addressed name of the report will appear in the email subject
line and will consist of a lot of numbers and characters that don't
identify the name of the horse or type of report very well. At
this point, you can highlight that line with your mouse and
change it so something a little easier to remember, such as "Zan
Parr Bar, Performance Pedigree - May 2004."

NEXT, add the email addresses of anyone else you want to have a
copy of this report, separated by semi-colons (;)
Click "Send" and the report will be in your email box very shortly.
I recommend you save this report on your computer ASAP. See
next:

Find the report in your Email Inbox.From your Email "Inbox"
you should see the message you recognize as the report you sent
yourself.Highlight the message titleRight click the message title
Click "print" to print if you wish to have another
print-out..

Then, save the report to your hard drive or desktop:Right Click the message title in your inbox.
Click "Open" from the Drop-down menu.
Click "FILE" from the menu at the top of the page.
Then Click "Save As ..."
In the "Save in:" box,
click the little triangle button at the right
side
of the text field and it will allow you to browse to the
location,
file and folder where you want to save the report.Type in a title in the dialog box, and click "Save"
Now you have a safe copy of the report in case you ever need it again.You are done! Congratulations.

Tip: To make
your work easier, you can have two windows open at the same time
by resizing them to fit side by side or one above the other.
(The latter is probably the handiest.) Resize windows by
dragging a corner with your mouse or dragging top or bottom borders
with your mouse when you see a double ended arrow. Reposition
the window by clicking on the top border and dragging the entire
window to the position you want on screen.

You can also minimize your text editor window and open your browser,
then maximize and minimize the two windows to move between the two.

With your browser open, log in to
buyhorsesonly.com and enter your user name and password. You can
click this
login link now if you wish.

Click the "Edit Classified Ad" on your manager toolbar.

Click the name of the horse on the list of horses your have in the
system.

You are now ready to
copy and paste your
performance pedigree report into
your classified ad horse submission form online.
It should
be placed in the "Description" field of your classified ad.) Then, click the "Update"
button at the bottom of the form.

IMPORTANT:Your file will
not be saved to the web until you click the "update" button at the
bottom of the submission form.

If you have a slow internet connection
or you tend to lose your connection from time to time due to your
ISP's timeout settings or electrical problems, it is a good idea to
click the "update" button more frequently as you are working. At least
as often as you are unwilling to retype information you have already
typed in :-) Information you place into the form does NOT save to the
web until you click the "update" or "submit" button. Until you do
that, it is just temporary data on your screen.
It is a good idea to fill in
the "Required Fields" (labeled in red print) in the form
first, then scroll to the bottom of the page and click
the submit button before continuing.

TIP: After you have
posted and sent your report to the web by clicking the "update"
button at the bottom of the submission form,
you can place the most
important information into the pedigree chartby typing (or
copying
and pasting) performance or produce information into the pedigree
chart in 6 locations: the sire, dam, grandsires and granddam's tables
in the chart. The insertion point for this data is below the field
(box) containing the ancestor's name.
